اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَاَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْد Takbír at-Tashreeq is the recitation of Alláhu Akbar Alláhu, lá'iláha 'ill-alláhu wa Alláhu akbar, Alláhu akbar wa lilláhil hamd.^[1]

Time[]

Takbír at-Tashreeq stretches over five days, from Fajr of 9 Dhu al-Hijjah until after 'Asr of 13 Dhu al-Hijjah, however those who are not performing hajj should recite these from Fajr of 1 Dhu al-Hijjah.

Origin[]

‘Ibráhím was ordered by Alláh to sacrifice his son ‘Ismá’íl. When ‘Ibráhím began moving the knife on ‘Ismá’íl, the angels were sent with a ram from Jannah. The angels exclaimed: Alláhu Akbar Alláhu Akbar (Alláh is the Greatest, Alláh is the Greatest). ‘Ibráhím heard the voice of the angels and said: "La 'iláha 'ill-álláhu wa Alláhu Akbar" (There is none worthy of worship besides Alláh and Alláh is the Greatest).

‘Ismá’íl heard this conversation and realized that Alláh had relieved him from this great trial and so he said: "Alláhu akbar wa lilláhil hamd" (Alláh is the Greatest and to Alláh belongs all praise).
